To kick off 2011 Vakant presents Romanian rising stars Livio & Roby, the first new artists to join the label since 2008. After cutting their teeth on some of the biggest labels and world stages, Livio & Roby impart their excellent deep funk laden grooves on their first record for the perfectionist House of Vakant. A side Hatzumoto Song is nothing short of a siren song seducing any passerby or dance floor reveler, ship wrecking them on Livio & Robys divine private island. Deeply organic yet firmly routed in tech funk, the track floats effortlessly across time and dimension with perfectly sculpted groove and ambience. Gracing the B side Moduri picks things up a bit with a classic upbeat - downbeat house rhythm while strange and eluding synths carry Livio & Robys now signature flow of musical zest and smile inducing body motivation. Finally the digital only Resoftescu completes the 35th installment of Vakants life companion series with the push-pull of dark moody synths and uplifting acoustic piano chords. Combined with the steady cadence of tasteful percussion, the sounds melt to produce a gliding mélange of soothing beauty.
